Silence Limited (龍耳)Fire Preparedness and Response Workshop cum Forum on Disabilities Inclusive Management
Disaster preparedness tools (e.g. visual fire alarm for early warning) and education was found to be lacking or non-accommodative for people with hearing impairment in Hong Kong. Therefore, HKJCDPRI collaborated with the Silence (龍耳) to conduct fire drills and produce sign-language videos on fire evacuation, in order to enhance their awareness and knowledge. We also engaged key stakeholders in the “Forum on Disaster Preparedness for People with Disabilities”, to mobilize wider audiences (especially those from/work with the disability sector) to join hands in community resilience enhancement.

The exhibition on 5 January (Sat) at the Wind Tower Park in Ap Lei Chau kicked-off the series in 2019.
Through virtual reality games, the HKJCDPRI invited participants to take up the ambulanceman’s role and drive to the disaster scene, so as to learn how to better support in an emergence response operation as a citizen. Through the broadcasting of interesting animated videos, the HKJCDPRI also introduced response actions that general public can take in various large scale emergencies such as typhoon, earthquake, tsunami, fire and major traffic accidents, etc., to enhance participant’s capacity and resilience.
The next roving exhibition will be held at Cheung Sha Wan Playground on 13 April 2019 (Sat). The HKJCDPRI will continue to actively promote multi-sectoral collaboration across the society by taking part in different community disaster preparedness and safety educational platforms. Through the collaboration with partners and communities, we strive to promote awareness and make Hong Kong a safer and resilient place to live.
Parents and children were enthusiastic about learning disaster preparedness knowledge through virtual reality games.
Disaster risk and preparedness messages could be more effectively disseminated to children, by introducing cartoon characters in an animated video produced by the HKJCDPRI under the theme “Safety in Public Events”. We trust that early education is the key for developing appropriate values and actions towards risk reduction. Learn more about the Bean Soldier’s role in disaster preparedness from here.

The HKJCDPRI had launched and completed 10 community resilience campaigns with nine partners in the first two cycles of the programme in 2016-2018. Campaign activities were designed based on specific needs of community groups such as people with disability, and residents living in high risks districts or sub-optimal settings. The campaigns facilitated vulnerable communities to identify disaster risk they are facing, and measures to enhance their coping capacities and hence resilience. For more information, please visit http://www.hkjcdpri.org.hk/community-engagement-1.
The HKSKH Lady MacLehose Centre continues to be our collaborating partner to promote the importance of community safety to residents of subdivided-units in the Kwai Chung and Tsing Yi Districts. Phase two of the campaign “More Knowledge Less Risk: Old District Community Education Programme” was launched in December 2018. Harnessing the achievement of previous campaign, information on prevention of fire and disease outbreak will further be disseminated through home visits and mobile education booths. To bring about more sustainable campaign impacts, we will strengthen the involvement and collaboration with building owners’ corporations throughout the implementation cycle. The campaign will also feature a community research, to identify risk factors in the living environment, provide recommendations for improvements, and arouse public discussion and interest. Stay tuned for more updates on the programme.
Mobile education booths attracted residents to learn about prevention of domestic fire and infectious disease outbreaks.
A “Community Survey on Physical and Mental Risks Resulted from Inappropriate Living Environment” was conducted in 2017-2018, to reveal the impact of unsafe living environment on the mental health of residents. Survey findings were released in a press conference to arouse awareness on the issue from the government and general public.
